Donald Trump Praises Saddam Hussein

[Seahawk]

I lie and talk to myself all the time.

I'm not a priest, so you confession means shit to me.

 

[Seahawk]

Why do you think he's just talking about "outside of America"?

His comments are consistent with everything else he has said about how ridiculous it is that we have any kinds of rules. Trump is truly Machiavellian, at least in his rhetoric. He doesn't believe America should stand for much in the world; he has advocated torture, killing families of terrorists & abandoning rules of engagement. The comment about reading them their rights was just another jab at the silly notion that we should have any rules at all.

Was the subject Iraq or terrorists in America? And in all cases, do terrorists caught in America get Miranda rights?

If he is wrong, just spell it out, don't be obtuse.

Maybe we should have stayed out of Europe and Japan in WWII.

Oh, good lord.

Is that really an apples-to-apples for you? Really?

You're the one being obtuse. In the context of everything he has been saying about fighting terrorism, he's clearly talking about all of the 'rules' we go by, whether domestically or abroad.

Did you see the speech? It was obvious to me what he was talking about.

 

[Phantasmal]

Since when do terrorists have Miranda rights, outside of America? The way I read it, he is talking about war zones, and last I checked, there is no Miranda right in warzones.

Trump not knowing history, the terrorists were often Saddam's own citizens that did not agree with his policies, and Trump gives the impression here that he is okay with that, don't talk, no rights, no trial, just kill them.

I wish people here could have a serious discussion about Trump's behavior. In my view, watching his campaign appearances, he is becoming angrier and more unhinged daily. At times he appears nearly completely incoherent to me.

Is there something seriously wrong with this man?

I think early in the campaign his "witty", off the cuff cheap shots at the other candidates got him some laughs and scored him some points, so he keeps trying to replicate the reaction.

Sadly, like a comedian running out of material, his latest attempts to score some points have stopped being "witty" and now are beginning to sound quite insane.

Here what a Trumptard and Trump supporter look like in Troll's mind.

Threads I started.

Trump: I'm revoking 'dishonest' Washington Post's credentials

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/trump-washington-post-credentials-224281

What an idiot. Harmful to free speech. Even worse than Obama's whining about Foxnews.

Look at this next pro Trump thread.

Donald Trump in 1994: 'Putting a Wife to Work Is a Very Dangerous Thing'

“I love creating stars. And to a certain extent, I've done that with Ivana. To a certain extent, I've done that with Marla. And I like that," Trump told "Primetime Live" correspondent Nancy Collins in an interview that aired on March 10, 1994.

“Unfortunately, after they're a star, the fun is over for me," he continued. "It's like a creation process, it's almost like creating a building. It's pretty sad.”

Trump also shared his views about the women in his life having careers, saying he had mixed feelings on the idea of then-wife Marla Maples working.

“I have days where I think it's great. And then I have days where, if I come home -- and I don't want to sound too much like a chauvinist -- but when I come home and dinner's not ready, I go through the roof," he said.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trump-1994-putting-wife-work-dangerous-thing/story?id=39537935

Now this is a disturbing view of Trump's opinion about women. After their a star, the fun is over for me. Unless he has denounced this position it is clear he really doesn't respect women at all. With his money, have a freakin chef make you dinner or order take out and stop whining.

Another positive Trump thread.

If I'm a Trumptard, then who isn't?

Poor Troll.

100% absolutely correct. Saddam went after any type of Islamist insurgent - including but not limited to AQ

He rounded up HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of his own people, gassed them and then buried them in mass graves.

What a role model for American Righties to aspire to.

 

[zappasguitar]

In terms of whether we shold have over-thrown Saddam or not -absolutely 100% the Iraq war was/is a colossal failure.
It's how ISIS came into being - beforehand the Baathists/Saddam were content to kill Kurds, and run a rogue regime.

Now Iraq is a colony of Iran -fractured and a" jihadist wonderland" ( Rand Paul) as is Libya.
We did this.

Well then, let's all give GWB a BIG round of applause for getting the USA mired in the "colossal failure" that was the Iraqi war, and for helping to create ISIS.

 

[zappasguitar]

Wait a minute, calm down.

Is there anything wrong with Trump's statement? He said he is a bad guy, but he is absolutely correct about his statement that he was good at killing terrorists.

Seriously, I have seen many lefties say that we should have left Iraq alone with Saddam in charge. There are so many negative things to hound Trump on, but this kind of bullshit is petty. Then again, it did come from out most petty member.

Still can't discuss the thread topic without resorting to another cheap shot ad hom attack I see.

 

[Seahawk]

That is your opinion and I don't see it, doesn't mean you're wrong. To me his comments were directed towards the ME, rather than here in the Homeland.

You could be right about the just kill them, but I don't think that is what he meant. Then again, I don't get most of what he wants to convey to people.

There is no way he is not a stooge for Hillary winning this thing. I bet the Clintons have something on him and he gave them this election.

 

[Seahawk]

Do you always discuss a topic WITHOUT resorting to a cheap shot ad hom attack?

If you answer, yes, then I would like evidence.

If you answer, no, STFU you hypocritical whiny bitch who needs mangina cream rubbed all over his mouth.

 

[Seahawk]

Oh, good lord.

Is that really an apples-to-apples for you? Really?

Did I say it was?

The point here is that Trump said Saddam was good at killing terrorists.

The left of course jumps up and screams, see, he supported Saddam!

That is a lie.

Anita Dunn should ring a bell with you. With the Troll, I know it does, but he ignores all that stuff.

Oh the Irony.

Yurt telling another person not to be obtuse.

ROFL!!!

BINGO!!

That is what Trump will do if elected..

No rights, no trials, just kill anyone suspected of being a terrorist.

Blaming others for your own lack of civility, I see.

Another Yurt hallmark.

You can vote for whoever you like, to each his own, but claiming you believe Hillary when she said Bush lied to her is just self justification. Hillary knew exactly what she was doing when she voted as she did. She is not a victim here.

absolutely 100% correct. Everyone who supported "the resolution -Dems and Repubs and common citizens knew the Iraq war was going to happen.
I recall the yellow ribbons of war fever - it was a done deal. Thankfully a few stood up against the war machine- but the jingoism was too overwhelming.
The bad thing about Clinton is she never learns from her screw ups.

She still supported arming the Syrian rebels ( a bad idea because they can't hold onto their weapons -or defect)
She still hyped "Assad must go" by her "Friends of Syria" initiative.
She still - to this day - won't own her colossal screw up as chief US advocate, and international organizer of the US/NATO
Libyan war that collapsed Libya into a failed terrorist state .

Even with the Bernie debates she was peddling that crap about "spreading democracy to Libya".
The woman is far from a victim - she's a consummate warhawk

 

[anatta]

After the clusterfuck that has happened in Iraq over the past decade, Saddam honestly doesn't look that bad in retrospect.

yeppers.
Also Qaddafi allowed the SAS and CIA to roam and kill Islamists (Libyan Islamic Fighting Group/Ansar al-Sharia) in Libya.
Assad is a brutal dictator too -but he's fighting al_Nusra, and ISIS to name but a few in that stew.

 

[anatta]

that was the kurds -and not 100,00o's -but if you add in the body count from the Iran-Iraq war it was t least that much. To wit I reply "so what"?

Is it our duty as American Exceptionalists (neocon meaning) to roam the world looking to put every dictator out of business?
Even if you accept that premise - what about the aftermath? We own ISIS, and we own the failed states we left behind.

The better idea is Whack a Mole ( counter-terrorism) but that involves drones and airstrikes and the extreme left
doesn't understand that either. Modify drone strikes to eliminate signature strikes -quit the big invasions, and firm up the targeting

 

[anatta]

BINGO!!

That is what Trump will do if elected..

No rights, no trials, just kill anyone suspected of being a terrorist.

we do that to a large extent now with our signature strikes
